Christiana Figureres, the former head of the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change, recently joined with a group of climate scientists and policy wonks to state there are three years left to get emissions moving sharply downward. If, that is, we’re holding out hope of limiting the warming of the globe to below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial temperatures, often cited as the threshold where “dangerous” warming begins (although in truth, that’s a matter of interpretation).
Yet a battery of recent studies call into question even that limited optimism. Last week, a group of climate researchers published research suggesting the climate has been warming for longer than we thought due to human influences — in essence, pushing the so-called “preindustrial” baseline for the planet’s warming backwards in time. The logic is clear: If the Earth has already warmed more than we thought due to human activities, then there’s even less remaining carbon dioxide that we can emit and still avoid 2 degrees of warming.

These people like Al Gore talk big, but they are living a lifestyle that contributes to the global warming they claim to be against.
They have cried wolf so many times that there isn’t much they could say to alarm me anymore.
I think we have a 0% chance of avoiding whatever climate Mother Earth provides for us.
Yeah, how are we going to stop the global warming on Mars???
Damned Robotic SUVs we are sending there to take pictures...
I am far more worried about all the plastic in the seas. This problem is real but doesn’t seem to get any attention from liberals.
God smiles down on them every time they give us a date like this.
It is a total hoax. The data was rigged . The entire effort is to take your stuff and give it to third world peons. Demand its removal from public schools. It is flat earth.
This woman has admitted that the global warming scare is intended to destroy capitalism. What more do you need to know?
A lot of liberals have plastic in the ocean as their cause...they sometimes show a graphic of a massive zone of floating plastic in the Pacific ocean. Its the reason people can’t use plastic bags on the west coast anymore.
Maybe so, but it ain’t cause by anything man does or doesn’t do, so who cares?
In sales that is called a Big Fat Claim (BFC).
A BFC is a very useful sales tool IF you back it up with proof. Just saying it does more harm to your cause than not saying it. They have NEVER been able to back this sh** up without lying or messing with facts. It has become worse than junk science. It is joke science, right up there with the super convincing youtube videos proving the earth is flat.
Apparently for a long time.

| First rule in reading any quote from the media - if the words “anonymous sources”, or “someone within the party” or other vague source or no name means liar liar statement! |
5% sounds like MUCH better odds than ever shall apply to actually getting the “warmists” to look at objective data, and use REAL science to evaluate just what is going on.
Angels dancing on he head of a pin. At one time that debate was taken VERY seriously.
And it was never decided.
Should we be enjoying climatephobes’ anguish?
Chrisiana Figueres? SERIOUSLY? She is the poster girl for the "Inconvenient Truth" -- which is that Climate Change is completely driven by a globalist political and economic agenda.
If you don't believe me, read what she stupidly revealed to the whole world in 2015:
"This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model, for the first time in human history.
"This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 - you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation."
--Christiane Fugueres, Executive Secretary of UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change)
When its 0% chance can we knock off the crap and go on with our lives free from this mass hysteria?
The only one that walks the talk is that Freak Ed Beagly Jr I can respect that
I thought AlGore said we were doomed in 2005.
Oh, let’s wait until we are a year out, and make it interesting. It’ll be like a global reality show.
